Cooking: Buddha Bowls - really just a bowl full of veggies and protein; totally my kind of cooking.Drinking: T2 Chai tea - 2/3 milk and 1/3 tea.

It's not working.Wearing: my new navy, cream and orange woollen scarf that I received from my parents for my birthday. It's perfect.Following: up last night's 9:30pm bedtime with another tonight; sleep is my tonic.Noticing: that I haven't eaten much today; must fuel up for the rest of the day.Knowing: that I have dinner sorted tonight; love that.Thinking: about how to makeover our country kitchen into something more my style without spending much money.Admiring: fit people with lots of energy to burn.Sorting: the craft/storage/office/study into a clean, tidy room without piles of crap on the floor and every paper filed.Getting: excited for our trip to the Blue Mountains in the school holidays.Bookmarking: things to do at the Blue Mountains.Coveting: a nude and rose gold watch from The Horse.Disliking: having cold feet; bring me my uggies.Opening: my shopping directory up for new listings - let your firends with small businesses know!Giggling: at Amy Schumer.
